Essentia Water FAQs
How is Essentia Water different than other bottled waters?
Most bottled waters offer purity but not additional benefits. With Essentia Water, you get added electrolytes as well as a higher pH water, creating a super hydrating water that supports optimal health and functionality.
Why is it so important to stay hydrated?
Good hydration is essential for human health. Our bodies need water to function well and to maintain good health. Most of us don’t get enough. Juice, soda pop, caffeinated beverages and alcohol are all diuretics and cause you to actually lose water. When your body becomes dehydrated, joints get stiff, concentration fades, muscles get sore faster, exercise gets harder and performance falters.
How do I know that Essentia Water is safe?
Essentia Water is created in a highly controlled environment using sophisticated technology that results in uniform content and blend , as well as 99.9% purity, in every bottle.
Is there a limit to how many bottles of Essentia Water I can drink per day?
No. Essentia Water can be consumed in place of all drinking water.
How do I know if my pH level is off balance and why should I care?
Most people’s bodies are out of balance, meaning that they’re too acidic, which can contribute to a variety of health problems. This is a result of today’s more unhealthy lifestyles and diet, as well as stress and exposure to contaminants and pollution. Essentia Water helps bring your body back into balance for optimal health and functionality.
Why should I drink Essentia Water if I get my electrolytes through sports drinks?
Essentia Water provides a blend of dissolved minerals that complement the body’s own mixture and concentration, providing electrolytes in correct proportion to what the body needs without all the sugars and other additives you typically find in sports and energy drinks.
How come when I test the pH level at home, it comes out far less than 9.5?
You are probably not using a calibrated pH meter. The pH strips (or Litmus Paper) commonly used to test the pH of urine or saliva, cannot test accurately on waters as pure as Essentia Water. A calibrated pH meter, such as that offered by the Hach Company, will provide an accurate numeric pH reading. When testing Essentia Water with such an instrument, you can expect a reading anywhere from 9.2 to 9.8 pH. To accurately test the pH of purified water as well as your own body, please click here
Where does the water for Essentia Water come from?
Essentia Water is source-independent. We currently use municipal water as our source supply. The Essentia Process allows us to produce Essentia Water anywhere in the world.
Are Essentia Water bottles safe and recyclable?
Yes. As a PET-1 bottle, our bottles can be recycled at virtually any recycling facility in the United States. For more information, visit www.petresin.org. PET is BPA (bisphenol A) and Phthalate FREE, which are compounds found in
some plastic containers and for which there is a leaching hazard. Click here to learn more about PET Plastic #1.

How does Essentia Water compare to in-home water treatment systems, such as filters or ionizers?
Essentia Water provides distinct additional benefits to in-home systems, including:
- Superior hydration: Its superior hydrating qualities are achieved through our proprietary Essentia Process, which includes the infusion of a (proprietary) electrolyte formula and the creation of a higher alkaline water.
- Higher purity: Our superior process of microfiltration, reverse osmosis and ultraviolet exposure results in water that is 99.9% pure; free of Chlorine and Fluoride.
- Uniform content and quality. The sophisticated, standardized and monitored manufacturing process behind Essentia Water means the water in every bottle has exactly the same composition and purity – from the electrolyte mixture to the pH level.
